One open-source tool, 2 subscriptions it can stand in for. Each pairing below is curated and verified by hand, with the honest catch spelled out. No votes, no pay-to-list.
licenseAGPL-3.0
runsyour machine or their cloud
installHosted signup, or Docker Compose/Kubernetes for self-hosting
enginesAI features can use a configured model provider or self-hosted compatible service; standalone community deployment omits AI and App Builder
dataCloud records live in Teable Cloud; self-hosted records live in PostgreSQL, with attachments in local, MinIO, S3, or Aliyun object storage; bases export as .tea backups and tables as CSV
setupSelf-hosting needs Docker, at least 4 GB RAM, PostgreSQL, secrets, storage, and a public URL; the full AI/App Builder stack is materially heavier than the standalone deployment
